Good to know

These shoes are not waterproof, so they're best for dry conditions or when you don't mind getting a little wet. The 8 mm drop promotes a natural stride, and the traditional lacing lets you dial in the fit. With reinforced toe and heel, they're built to take a beating on rocky terrain.
